Description
AbiV was discovered was discovered in 2008 in Lactococcus lactis ref:{doi=10.1023/A:1002027321171}.
AbiO is one of the so-called "Abi" systems for "Abortive infection" discovered in the 90's in research related to the dairy industry (N/A) . Even though their name corresponds to an abortive infection, their mechanism of action does not necessarily correspond to an abortive infection. AbiV system is classified as an abortive infection in (N/A)
This system is composed of one single protein containing a HEPN domain (HEPN_AbiV PF18728).
Molecular mechanism
As far as we are aware, the molecular mechanism is unknown.
Example of genomic structure
The AbiV is composed of 1 protein: AbiV.
Here is an example found in the RefSeq database:
The AbiV system in Bacillus mycoides (GCF_018739365.1, NZ_CP035984) is composed of 1 protein: AbiV (WP_070128168.1)
